acapella vocal loop
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water turned to stone
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
- Christina Rossetti 1872
Morning, nothing better than live and now sound heard here. I love lps and old tape as the sound is so real. Now I can add ambience
Id choose playing in the bathroom. Great sound/feel
Lovely jangly sounds. Very pretty!! I also like the background noise - it seems to lend to the warm atmosphere - especially the little sprinkles of happy laughter and chatter.

Very evocative....I remember seeing a meteor shower in rthe UK mid eighties...the display,well it was gobsmacking....which means it leaves you speechless ! 80)
Recorded August 28, 2009
Details: Martin D1 (DADFGC - capo II), Shure SM57, Audacity, Sound Forge.
After digging this tune up really I really wanted to try it again on acoustic (which I don't play much). This is a second take recorded in…
Solo acoustic finger picking thing I've been working on for a while. Sometime around 1968 I started studying with Mr. George Bennett who taught me the rudiments of finger picking. Later when we played some gigs together he also taught me the rudiments…
Recorded August 26, 2009
Details: Epiphone Les Paul (DADFGC - capo II), Seymour Duncan Pickups, POD XT, Boss RC-20 Looper, EBow, Audacity, Sound Forge.
Written in 1982 after a trip to Wyoming with a couple of Alex DeGrassi cassettes....
Another experiment. The name comes from the fact that I was in the woods; not because I was really concerned about making woodsy sounds...
Thanks again to glu and Chris McGrath for opening my eyes to some different Live tricks...
A reverse take (recorded live at a gig) of a couple of Pink Floyd covers. The amazing Bill Pohl on 2nd guitar. It came out sounding strangely symphonic.
@ Sister: Due to technical issues I would have to post the entire song file, which would be posting cover tunes, which I don't want to do here...trust me, the reversed, edited versions sound better!
Brief musical sketch, to be transformed into a teary-eyed country weeper.
Instrumentation:
1 Dobro Resonator Guitar, played on both sides of a slide.
[If you give a page a dobro ...]
This track started off with an idea. The idea was an instrument setup such that I could play a single note, or octave and have arps and stuff built it up...
I failed in that experiment by getting carried down the add more effects road and before…
Ambient guitar with generous reverb served up on a bed of glitched up vocal samples.
Boring technical details:
Puremagnetik voxbox micropak came with a bunch of vocal clips. I put them all into live and gave them all follow actions to play…
Two jigs I wrote after returning from Ireland. Sorry for the horrid splice between the two tunes...I'll fix that when I get a chance. Penny whistle, mandolin, acoustic guitar.
Comments on kavin.'s stuff
Beautifully told, Kavin.
Really like the lyrics to this.
I have noticed when going through my old stuff, you hit a bunch of bad ones and ocassionally find a gem, i think this is one of those gems
Awesome, great, wonderful, uplifting, sweet.....need more words, headed to find my dictonary....

Glorious!
Well, thanks to your narration, I was right there with you. Absolutely magical telling of a majestic moment!
What a beautiful piece!
Store !
BTW I love all the background noises ...where were you playing this....in a shop ?? 80) JTO
great live feel ....cos it is !! I take it this was straight out of the tin as it comes ....very impressive... Jarvo
A cool refreshing tune. You should sing more often.
Killer Kavin Kover
not sure how i did not fav this before...killer
Great tones /Harmonics use/ Non standard progression/twin picking sound all appeal to these ears, Bloody lovely mate!
Cool. The child in the adult is for wonder.
great delivery.........
What a beautiful memory!

Love hearing the two versions back to back, but I favor the acoustic side I think.
So good. Saw Tommy Emmanuel the other night, and he played some great mellow fingerpicking like this, great to hear it!
Guitar wonderment. Proof positive one doesn't have to be fast or flashy to be a guitar wizard. Like the extended length also.
Very good. I get a jungle feel more than forest, because it has a vaguely tribal beat. Check out my tune with the same title.

I'm cryin' already. Inventive little tone poem!
Amen ta that! I hear some Ray Davies in there. Cool!
Short and sweet!
=!&0000))))
Bravo Eno!
Yes! More ebow!
Sonic Mood is a cool program and I like what you did with it!
Love it! Bluegrass with a British accent! Oh that's right, Americans are the ones with the accent.
I DO like it, but then I go for these kinds of guitar oddities. "Talent enhancer"? I want one of those.
Killer! A nice acoustic ride!
Hey Rick! Where you been? These tracks sound great! Drop me a line when you can!
Like the loose feel of this one!
Makes me thirsty for a blackntan!
You got daughter Brit singing this! (cough!)
I love this whole album. Hope you and yer bass are feeling better Rick!
